B At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. C Current medical guidelines in many parts of the world recommend mild exercise for older people as a way to prevent both physical and mental decline. However, if you want to help your grandma stay mentally sharp into her golden years, you could buy her an Xbox, the latest research suggests. Researchers have conducted a study that found playing interactive video games could be more effective than just exercise alone in preventing mental decline in older people. To investigate this, the researchers compared two groups of people aged 72 years and over, one of which did standard exercise for 12 weeks, and at the same time the other instead played sports games on an Xbox, which combine regular exercise with cognitive (认知的) exercise. The study’s senior author, Tracy Kolbe Alexander said they found a marked difference in the results between the two groups. The 45 participants took cognitive assessment test before and after the 12-week program and the gaming group showed improvements in cognitive ability. All the participants had reported mild forms of memory loss but none had any form of dementia (痴呆) diagnosed when the experiment was done. However, the participants using Xbox showed physical improvement particularly in aspects such as strength and balance, which the researchers said were very important to preventing falls. “We are not so sure that interactive gaming is going to prevent dementia or anything like that, but our results showed a clear cognitive benefit,” Professor Kolbe Alexander said, “Keeping up physical activities via interactive gaming could also be of benefit to older people who lived in areas where there were physical barriers to exercise, such as lack of access to parks or walking tracks.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the investigation? A. By listing examples. B. By making explanations. C By making comparisons. D. By analyzing survey data. 9. What happened to the participants using Xbox? A. They gained little strength. B. They improved memory a lot. C. They suffered mental disease. D. They performed better in balance. 10. What can be inferred from Professor Kolbe’s words? A. Parks can be used to avoid memory loss. B. Interactive gaming can be achieved flexibly. C. Dementia can be prevented by Xbox gaming. D. Cognition can be improved by standard exercise. 11. In which section of a newspaper can the text be found? A. Health and Lifestyle. B. Economy and Business. C. Tools and Resources. D. Entertainment and Sports. D South Korean government has tried everything to persuade women to have babies. Among their initiatives: sponsored housing for new couples discounted after-childbirth care for new mothers, even a “baby payment” for each new born. Corporate South Korea is also getting in action, trying to delay a population crisis that could see the country’s workforce halve within 50 years. “We will continue to do what we can as a company to solve the low-birth issue,” Lee Joong-keun, the chairman of Booyoung Group, a Seoul-based construction company, said this month after awarding a total $5.25 million to his employees for babies born since 2021. Other companies are offering payments, too. This development has come about as South Korea’s fertility rate (生育率) — the average number of children a woman has over her lifetime — has decreased to 0.78 in 2022. That means the population is aging rapidly. “The main reasons behind the falling birthrate are the financial burdens of child care and challenges of balancing work and family,” Lee said. South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol praised companies that came up with “tax benefits and other various support measures to boost child birth,” according to his spokes-woman. Despite aggressive efforts, South Korea’s fertility rate is on course to sink further to 0.65 by 2025. This is largely because of the stress put on women, who face fierce workplace discrimination if they want to pursue a career while having children, experts say. South Kore a ranked 105th out of 146 countries in gender equality last year, according to the Global Gender Gap Report. Whether financial bonus can have a positive impact on fertility remains an unanswered question. “Cash payouts are not affordable nor sustainable options for many companies,” said Yoon In-jin, a sociology professor at Korea University. “More importantly, South Korea’s male-dominated corporate culture has to fundamentally change in favor of working women,” he said. “Korean women will start having more babies if they don’t have to sacrifice their career for it.” Nearly 50% South Korean companies punished workers using parental leave, especially on promotions, according to Labor Ministry statistics. 12. What population problem is South Korea very likely to face in the future? A. Its fertility rate will continuously decline. B. Its population will halve within 50 years. C. There will only be the aged very soon. D. New-born babies will make up 65% by 2025. 13. What is the author’s attitude towards the current money-awarding measure? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Far-sighted. D. Uncertain. 14. What does academic Yoon In-jin support to do in boosting fertility rate? A. Provide equal career security to women as men are enjoying. B. Improve South Korea’s global rank in gender equality. C. Remove women’s financial burdens and home-work balancing challenges. D. Offer couples with new born babies more tax benefits and other supports. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. The reasons why South Korean women are not having babies. B. The policies South Kare a government applies to persuade women to have babies. C. The measures corporate South Korea takes to promote birthrate. D. The severe discrimination South Korean women are facing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. ____16____ However, there’s a growing concern that watching too many Shorts can affect children’s brains. The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine (多巴胺) releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. ____17____ They stimulated the brain’s reward centers more intensely than random videos. Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-based content online.

The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and learning flexibility. ____19____ This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by Shorts. In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks. ____20____ Furthermore, encouraging physical activities and outdoor experiences is also crucial to develop a balance d lifestyle. A. Some even do not include text at all. B. TikTok’s feed is created addictive by design. C. But it does not fully mature until around the age of 25. D. It is helpful to use screen time management tools for Shorts. E. Short-term memory and the ability to concentrate are affected. F.

Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6 What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者参与Here After AI项目，通过AI技术与虚拟的父母进行交流的经历和感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible.”（起初，我认为这只是一个有趣的项目，看看技术上的可能性。）可知，作者加入这个项目的主要目的是测试新技术可能是什么样子。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My parents were asked questions by a technician for hours—about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants.”（一位技术人员问了我父母几个问题——从他们最早的记忆到他们认为死后会发生什么。无论是出于对疾病的担忧，还是出于对女儿的迁就，我的父母都没有任何抵触。然后，该公司收集了他们的反馈，开始开发语音助手。）可知，作者的父母为项目提供了数据。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段 “I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own.”（我已经有六个月没见过我真正的父母了。他们向我讲述了我从未听过的个人故事。他们给我一些人生建议，告诉我他们和我的童年。）可知，作者的父母向他讲述了以前自己从没听过的个人故事，这真是令人着迷。故划线词与B选项“Fascinating.(令人着迷的)”为同义词。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.”（就我个人而言，我对我的实验有一种复杂的感觉。我很高兴有我的虚拟父母。它们让我对我的父母有了新的了解，想到即使我的父母不在，这些机器人也会在那里，这让我感到欣慰。另一方面，我不禁感到难过的是，直到一个陌生人采访了我的父母，我才真正了解到他们是一个复杂的人。但我感到很幸运，有机会抓住这一点，仍然有宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，面对面，不涉及技术。）可知，作者感到很幸运，有机会能够抓住宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，即意识到了与父母的真正联系是最重要的。故选C。 C Current medical guidelines in many parts of the world recommend mild exercise for older people as a way to prevent both physical and mental decline. However, if you want to help your grandma stay mentally sharp into her golden years, you could buy her an Xbox, the latest research suggests. Researchers have conducted a study that found playing interactive video games could be more effective than just exercise alone in preventing mental decline in older people. To investigate this, the researchers compared two groups of people aged 72 years and over, one of which did standard exercise for 12 weeks, and at the same time the other instead played sports games on an Xbox, which combine regular exercise with cognitive (认知的) exercise. The study’s senior author, Tracy Kolbe Alexander said they found a marked difference in the results between the two groups. The 45 participants took cognitive assessment test before and after the 12-week program and the gaming group showed improvements in cognitive ability. All the participants had reported mild forms of memory loss but none had any form of dementia (痴呆) diagnosed when the experiment was done. However, the participants using Xbox showed physical improvement particularly in aspects such as strength and balance, which the researchers said were very important to preventing falls. “We are not so sure that interactive gaming is going to prevent dementia or anything like that, but our results showed a clear cognitive benefit,” Professor Kolbe Alexander said, “Keeping up physical activities via interactive gaming could also be of benefit to older people who lived in areas where there were physical barriers to exercise, such as lack of access to parks or walking tracks.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the investigation? A. By listing examples. B. By making explanations. C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing survey data. 9. What happened to the participants using Xbox? A. They gained little strength. B. They improved memory a lot. C. They suffered mental disease. D. They performed better in balance. 10. What can be inferred from Professor Kolbe’s words? A. Parks can be used to avoid memory loss. B. Interactive gaming can be achieved flexibly. C. Dementia can be prevented by Xbox gaming. D. Cognition can be improved by standard exercise. 11. In which section of a newspaper can the text be found? A. Health and Lifestyle. B. Economy and Business. C. Tools and Resources. D. Entertainment and Sports. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现玩互动视频游戏在预防老年人智力下降方面比单独锻炼更有效。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“To investigate this, the researchers compared two groups of people aged 72 years and over, one of which did standard exercise for 12 weeks, and at the same time the other instead played sports games on an Xbox, which combine regular exercise with cognitive (认知的) exercise.(为了调查这一点，研究人员比较了两组72岁及以上的人，其中一组进行了12周的标准锻炼，另一组则在Xbox上玩体育游戏，将常规锻炼与认知锻炼相结合。)”可知，研究者是通过对比来进行实验的。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“However, the participants using Xbox showed physical improvement particularly in aspects such as strength and balance, which the researchers said were very important to preventing falls.(然而，使用Xbox的参与者表现出身体状况的改善，特别是在力量和平衡等方面，研究人员表示，这对防止跌倒非常重要。)”可知，使用了Xbox的老人在平衡方面表现更好些。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Keeping up physical activities via interactive gaming could also be of benefit to older people who lived in areas where there were physical barriers to exercise, such as lack of access to parks or walking tracks.(通过互动游戏保持体育活动对生活在体育锻炼存在障碍的地区的老年人也有好处，比如无法进入公园或步行道。)”可推知，互动游戏可以灵活实现，即使无法进入公园或步行道也是可以实现的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Researchers have conducted a study that found playing interactive video games could be more effective than just exercise alone in preventing mental decline in older people.(研究人员进行了一项研究，发现玩互动视频游戏在预防老年人智力下降方面比单独锻炼更有效。)”以及结合全文可知，文章主要讲玩互动视频游戏在预防老年人智力下降方面的作用，再结合选项可知，这篇文章最可能出现在Health and Lifestyle这板块上。故选A项。 D South Korean government has tried everything to persuade women to have babies. Among their initiatives: sponsored housing for new couples, discounted after-childbirth care for new mothers, even a “baby payment” for each new born. Corporate South Korea is also getting in action, trying to delay a population crisis that could see the country’s workforce halve within 50 years. “We will continue to do what we can as a company to solve the low-birth issue,” Lee Joong-keun, the chairman of Booyoung Group, a Seoul-based construction company, said this month after awarding a total $5.25 million to his employees for babies born since 2021. Other companies are offering payments, too. This development has come about as South Korea’s fertility rate (生育率) — the average number of children a woman has over her lifetime — has decreased to 0.78 in 2022. That means the population is aging rapidly. “The main reasons behind the falling birthrate are the financial burdens of child care and challenges of balancing work and family,” Lee said. South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol praised companies that came up with “tax benefits and other various support measures to boost child birth,” according to his spokes-woman. Despite aggressive efforts, South Korea’s fertility rate is on course to sink further to 0.65 by 2025. This is largely because of the stress put on women, who face fierce workplace discrimination if they want to pursue a career while having children, experts say. South Kore a ranked 105th out of 146 countries in gender equality last year, according to the Global Gender Gap Report. Whether financial bonus can have a positive impact on fertility remains an unanswered question. “Cash payouts are not affordable nor sustainable options for many companies,” said Yoon In-jin, a sociology professor at Korea University. “More importantly, South Korea’s male-dominated corporate culture has to fundamentally change in favor of working women,” he said. “Korean women will start having more babies if they don’t have to sacrifice their career for it.” Nearly 50% South Korean companies punished workers using parental leave, especially on promotions, according to Labor Ministry statistics. 12. What population problem is South Korea very likely to face in the future? A. Its fertility rate will continuously decline. B. Its population will halve within 50 years. C There will only be the aged very soon. D. New-born babies will make up 65% by 2025. 13. What is the author’s attitude towards the current money-awarding measure? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Far-sighted. D. Uncertain. 14. What does academic Yoon In-jin support to do in boosting fertility rate? A. Provide equal career security to women as men are enjoying. B. Improve South Korea’s global rank in gender equality. C. Remove women’s financial burdens and home-work balancing challenges. D. Offer couples with new born babies more tax benefits and other supports. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. The reasons why South Korean women are not having babies. B. The policies South Kare a government applies to persuade women to have babies. C. The measures corporate South Korea takes to promote birthrate. D. The severe discrimination South Korean women are facing. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了在韩国生育率低并持续下降的背景下韩国企业对育儿家庭采用的金钱奖励手段。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This development has come about as South Korea’s fertility rate (生育率)—the average number of children a woman has over her lifetime -- has decreased to 0.78 in 2022.(韩国的生育率——一名女性一生中平均生育的孩子数量——在2022年降至0.78)”以及第三段“Despite aggressive efforts, South Korea’s fertility rate is on course to sink further to 0.65 by 2025.(尽管采取了积极的措施，但到2025年，韩国的生育率仍将进一步下降至0.65)”可知， 韩国的生育率 2022年已经下降到0.78, 并且即使采取了许多政策措施，仍然在持续下降，到2025年预计降到0.65。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句的“Whether financial bonus can have a positive impact on fertility remains an unanswered question.(金钱奖励是否能对生育率产生积极影响仍然是一个悬而未决的问题)”可推知，作者对于金钱奖励这一手段是否有效用持不确定态度。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““More importantly, South Korea’s male-dominated corporate culture has to fundamentally change in favor of working women,”he said.“Korean women will start having more babies if they don’t have to sacrifice their career for it.(“更重要的是，韩国男性主导的企业文化必须从根本上改变，有利于职业女性，”他说。“如果韩国女性不必为此牺牲自己的事业，她们就会开始生更多的孩子。”)”以及最后一句“Nearly 50% South Korean companies punished workers using parental leave, especially on promotions, according to Labor Ministry statistics. (根据劳动部的统计，近 50%的韩国公司利用育儿假惩罚员工，尤其是在升职时)”可知，Yoon In-jin教授支持的生育率提高方案是需要为职业女性提供与男性同等的职业安全感。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全篇文章以韩国政府采取的生育激励措施开篇，继而引入“Corporate South Korea is also getting in action”韩国企业也在采取行动， 第二段混合描述了企业的金钱奖励办法和严峻的人口问题，第三段表述了即使在各种措施之下生育率的仍旧低迷并简要陈述了韩国社会对女性、职业女性的歧视，最后一段援引专家观点表达了企业只有通过保障职业女性的职业安全感才能让韩国女性产生生育意愿。因而，本文的主题是韩国企业为了刺激生育率而采取的相关措施。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. ____16____ However, there’s a growing concern that watching too many Shorts can affect children’s brains. The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine (多巴胺) releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. ____17____ They stimulated the brain’s reward centers more intensely than random videos. Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-based content online. Due to their underdeveloped reading skills, children are more easily to become addicted to visual stimuli. Remarkably, social media platforms can do a lot harm to the development of reading habits among younger users. ____18____ According to Jessica Griffin, a professor of child psychology, Shorts affect the developing brains of children and teenagers. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and learning flexibility. ____19____ This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by Shorts. In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks. ____20____ Furthermore, encouraging physical activities and outdoor experiences is also crucial to develop a balance d lifestyle. A. Some even do not include text at all. B. TikTok’s feed is created addictive by design. C. But it does not fully mature until around the age of 25. D.
